The ABCs Of An mREIT And Its 15% Dividend Yield [View article]
Excellent article. Great to wake up to.
Having earlier read the transcript it also appears that Wells Fargo had an excellent understanding of the situation. You enhanced all of that earlier dialogue on AGNC with the clarity you added on repos.
Many thanks, keep up the good work. Your article permits a better understanding of endemic risk to that business model which is not always transparent to investors.
Lesson From Cyprus: Cashless Society Equals No More Bank Runs? [View article]
Agree with 5bandit5---there actually is NO thesis....just his emotional backdrop.....how content like this makes it onto SA is always a surprise and certainly unwelcomed...scratch this writer off my radar.
You did it! Folks who do not utilize nor understand Sources & Uses are left out on the limb and eventually the tree does fall. Congrats on the use of your intellect and your education.
Let's watch the opening, closing and a review by Cramer who has chosen DDD over everything else. Guess it is time for him to understand when SOMEONE COOKS THE BOOKS!
Great job, great job! As your critics suggest and address sensationalism, personal likes and dislikes and discuss your motivation you have most effectively drilled down to the essence of the whole game.
It's hardly surprising that new Citigroup (C) CEO Michael Corbat - himself a company lifer - is choosing to build from within. But with its top three men knowing nothing but Citi life, the bank "risks blindly following the status quo and being resistant to change." Other dangers of tunnel vision: internal politics, risk aversion, and corruption. [View news story]

Don't forget the heydays of the 80's and 90's when Citi was heralded for its superior viability in all markets....for its consistency in risk management for its leadership nationally and globally....These guys were there then and there now---amen! This is the best thing that could have happened to Citi. The days and legacy of Sandy Weill are exactly what Weill himself admits to being wrong. Now commences the resurrection of the ole' Citi---it's growth, it's insight and it's fantastic market metrics. Citi is doing a clean-up of and on itself. This stock is headed to the high 50's. Then the word will spread...."The ole' Citi has been resurrected!" Internally, they are doing what Citi veterans and old timers always do.... i.e., a very careful due diligence. Best to Citi, its 200 year legacy and its continued growth.
Gold at $1,200 is among Saxo Bank's outrageous predictions for 2013. The reason: A strong economic recovery in the U.S. saps demand for the safe-haven investment. Eventually, central banks take advantage of the low price and buy (At the bottom? That would be a first). [View news story]
The joke's on us for clicking on the e-mail. This non prediction prediction is without merit, substance or believability. Who is Saxo Bank?.....Now we have a name---so what. Obviously someone is confused between predicting and forecasting.
Excellent article. Your thesis is spot on. The difficulty here may simply be that others cannot either understand nor adopt your thesis.
TLT is saying a lot. Sense and sensibilities of readers need to reflect upon the macro environment and the changes therein. Some of the indicators perform co-incidentally, some lead, some lag. It appears folks have forgotten or neglected basic analytics or are too overcome in this environment to see the forest for the trees.
Thanks for your efforts....It is great to see one's gray matter working for the interest of others.
Stevia Muscling In On $58 Billion Sweetener Market [View article]
Debra,
Thanks a bunch for an enlightening and informative article.
Your knowledge and research was published on Seeking Alpha at a most effective time for me as I had been researching S&W Seed. Not being satisfied by either the financials or the most immediate stage of the company's development I did not pull the trigger. Your article made me extremely happy for my own hesitation.
The world of stevia is growing rapidly. There are areas of research (especially holistic) which indicate stevia to be the healthiest alternative to sugar.
Actually, readers of Seeking Alpha and your article should be greatly appreciative of the detail you render as your work will keep their personal balance sheets healthier too.
Again, thanks for an informative and well expressed article.
Appreciate your work, knowledge and effort. Thank you for sharing.
The Key In Mobile Payments Is Payment [View article]
Dana,
Bingo! You captured it. No pun intended. The key is..."process, process, process."
It is and has been V and MA. Each has the infrastructure, the systems support and the $'s since the 1970's. Others would like to break into that circle but, to date, have not been able to do so. Phone companies are trying---but remain essentially only a link into the credit card processing and hence monies payment schema.
Each week another investor story appears touting another "upstart" or telecom company as a possible player to enter the V and MA venue. Caveat emptor.

Charles,
Thank you for your work and effort. The article is truly amazing. This is an area that is often overlooked as investors continue to climb the wall of hope and worry of the Apples, Googles, Microsofts, Exxons, etc.
Your work certainly gives the average Joe something to think about.
